What is obtained after simplifying 2a² + 3ab − b² − (a² − 4ab + 2b²)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² + 7ab − 3b²

The governing concept is subtraction of algebraic expressions by distributing a negative sign through every term inside the bracket. Start with 2a² + 3ab − b² − (a² − 4ab + 2b²). The subtraction changes the bracket to −a² + 4ab − 2b², so the full expression becomes 2a² + 3ab − b² − a² + 4ab − 2b². Now combine like terms: 2a² − a² = a², 3ab + 4ab = 7ab, and −b² − 2b² = −3b². Thus the simplified result is a² + 7ab − 3b², making option B correct. The other choices arise from retaining an incorrect sign or combining unlike or incorrectly signed terms.
